Further, recall that another Spring-Ford 10th grader was arrested last month following a Nov. 14 incident at the Western Montgomery Career and Technology Center in which the student told others he would “shoot up the place” and that “someone is going to get shot.”

Charges in the case of that student, 15, included two counts of terroristic threats, a count of harassment and another count of disorderly conduct, which were filed Nov. 30.

The district statement on the Dec. 18 threat noted “the safety and well-being of all students is our highest priority, which is why the district handles all threats swiftly and appropriately.”

All further inquiries were referred to township police.

Attempts to reach Limerick Police Chief William Albany Wednesday afternoon for more information were unsuccessful.
